Hi Mahesh,
I don't think AGR can record on an external eclipse app.
Your plugin and the AGR ones need to be in the same eclipse
installation, So you need to either copy your plugins files and folders
into the AGR installation, or the other way round, install AGR on top of
your application.
Note, My only experience is testing an RCP application this way, so
maybe there is an easier way with full eclipse external apps...

Hi Bevan,
Thanks for the quick reply. If this is the case, its only going to be a
developer only solution. The QA guys needs to test our daily build of
the GUI, from the view point of a user. If its possible to at least
import a set of plugins into a TPTP project and run it using ant, that
would be helpful. I'm going to give that a try. If this is not going
to support it, I guess we can use it from the developers point of view
and have the QA guys use SilkTest. The problem with SilkTest is that it
dosent assign user friendly ids for the GUI components, so when we
change something, the whole QA setup needs to be changed. This is not a
good set up when we have daily builds.
Thanks
Mahesh

Mahesh,
As Bevan pointed out, you'll need to have your plug-ins included as part of
the Eclipse workbench you use for running AGR.
Thanks.

Bewan,
If I were to install AGR on top of my application, how would I create
the tests? Dont you have to create a testing project that contains the
test cases? Can you please elaborate a bit on how to do this if possible?
If I have to go the other way around, i.e. copying my plugins to the AGR
worksoace, that would be ok too, but I would prefer to copy AGR to my
application.
Thanks
Mahesh

To be able to install AGR on top of your application, you'll need the
following TPTP downloads:
1) Platform sub-project
2) Test sub-project
3) AGR plug-in
4) Eclipse Modeling Framework
Make sure that the version of TPTP you select is compatible with the Eclipse
version that your application uses. For example, if your application runs
on Eclipse 3.2, then use TPTP 4.2.
Creating a test suite would exactly be the same as what is described in the
user guide.
Thanks.
